An election year
And Bush said 'America'
Sixty times, in speech.
Sixty times, in speech
That sluggish plague reared fire--
All that was left, denied.
What was left, denied. (sorry, scansion)
All that was right, empowered.
Conservatives won.
Conservatives won
liberals came in second
No prize for "almost"
No prize for "almost",
It's win or lose, in or out.
Life can be heartless.
Life can be heartless
You have to create hobbies
To fullfill those times
To fullfill those times
I break into small sweet shops;
I eat gobstoppers.
I eat gobstoppers
Are they like GooGoo Clusters?
A southern delight
A southern delight -
Mint juleps as the Mississ
ippi glides - slowly.
Ippi glides slowly.
Debbie dances a wild tan
go, and smiles at you.
Go, and smiles at you
Stay not where sadness glowers
Merry-go-round bliss
Merry-go-round bliss
I twirl until I'm dizzy
And then I fall down
And then I fall down,
Three Martinis too many,
Go straight to my head
Go straight to my head
A strange world you will find there
Not for faint hearted
Not for faint-hearted
Folks, the ghost train rumbles on
Cadavers dangle.
Cadavers dangle
Strange fruit hanging from the tree
Wail on, Lady Day
Wail on, Lady Day
Is when my rent is due. How
Can I afford it?
Can I afford it?
To get it all then waste it?
You can't get it back
You can't get it back -
That wasted time in your youth.
Make the most of it!
Make the most of it
your little life as a child
have a happy life
